Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Msambi uvaha wa vandu wanga valangika, pavakonganiki na kutumbula kulivatilana. Yesu avajovili hoti vawuliwa vaki. “Mujiyangalila na ngemeku ya Vafalisayu ndi uhomela wavi.
2 But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.
Chindu chochoha chila chechigubikiwi yati chigubukuliwa na chochoha chechifiyiki yati chimanyikana.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Gala gamwajovili kuchitita, yati giyuwanika pepilangala, na chochoha chamwapwepi mumfiyu mugati kuni milyangu yidindanu, yati chikokoselewa pamulima woha.”
4 "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
“Nikuvajovela, nyenye mwavankozi vangu, mkotoka kuvayogopa vala vevikoma higa, nambu nakuhotola kukita chindu chingi kangi.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gihana. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Yati nivalangisa wa kuyogopewa, mumuyogopa Chapanga, akamala kukukoma, ihotola kumutaga mundu kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika. Nikuvajovela, mumuyogopa mwenuyo!” (Geenna g1067)
6 "Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
“Yimanyikini kuvya mayeluyelu mhanu ziguliswa kwa mashonga gadebe neju, nambu kawaka hata njasi yimonga yeyikosiwa na Chapanga.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Hati umahele wa mayunju ga mitu yinu zimanyikini kwa Chapanga. Mukotoka kuyogopa, nyenye mwitopela neju kuliku mayeluyelu gamahele!”
8 "I tell you, everyone who confesses me before people, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
“Chakaka nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha yula mwaakuniyidakila pavandu kuvya mwene ndi wangu, Mwana wa Mundu yati amuyidakila palongolo ya vamitumu va Chapanga kuvya mwenuyo mundu waki.
9 but the one who denies me in the presence of people will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
Nambu mundu yoyoha yula mwaakunibela pavandu, na Mwana wa Mundu mewawa yati akumbela palongolo ya vamitumu va Chapanga.”
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Rukha d'Qudsha will not be forgiven.
“Yoyoha yula mweijova lilovi la kumubelelela Mwana wa Mundu, mwenuyo yati ilekekeswa, nambu mweamliga Mpungu Msopi, yati ivya nakulekekeswa.”
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;
“Pevakuvapeleka nyenye kwa makakala, munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi, amala vahamula mihalu, amala kwa vachilongosi lenili muhamuliwa mkotoka kuvya na wogohi yati myangula kyani amala yati mujova wuli.
12 for the Rukha d'Qudsha will teach you in that same hour what you must say."
Muni lukumbi lulolo, Mpungu Msopi yati akuvawula gakujova.”
13 And someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
Mundu mmonga mu msambi wa vandu akamjovela Yesu, “Muwula, mjovela mlongo wangu tigavana vindu vyetihalili kwa dadi witu.”
14 But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
Yesu akamyangula, “Nkozi wangu, yani mweaniviki nene kuhamula mihalu pagati yinu amala kuvya mtepulanisa?”
15 He said to them, "Beware. Keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
Ndi, akavajovela voha, “Mujiyangalilayi na kuvya na mtima wa kugana vindu vyamahele, muni wumi wa mundu uvi lepi muvindu vyamahele vyeavi navyu.”
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
Kangi akavajovela luhumu ulu. Kwavi na mundu mmonga mweavi na vindu vyamahele, mgunda waki wapambiki mabenu gamahele.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?'
Akaholalela mumtima waki na kujova. Hinu nikita wuli muni kawaka pandu pakuvika mabenu gangu?
18 He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Ndi, yati nikita aga, yati nidenya chibana changu na kupamanda kangi vivaha na mwenumo yati nivika mabenu gangu goha pamonga na vindu vyangu.
19 I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."'
Kangi nikujijovela namwene, hinu uvinavyu vindu vyabwina vyeukuvigana mumiyaka yamahele ndi upumulilayi na ulyayi na unywayi na uheka!
20 "But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?'
Nambu Chapanga akamjovela, Uhimwiki veve, kilu ya lelu wumi waku yati utoliwa. Na vindu vyeujivikili yati vivya vya yani?
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
Yesu akamalisila kujova, “Chenichi ndi cheyivya mundu mweajivikili vindu vyamahele ndava yaki mwene, nambu palongola ya Chapanga ivya mngangu.”
22 He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Kangi Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Ndava ya genago, nikuvajovela, mkotoka kung'ahikila ndava ya chakulya chemugana muni mulamayi, amala nyula zemukuzigana ndava ya higa yinu.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Ndava muni wumi witopela kuliku chakulya, na higa yitopela kuliku nyula.
24 Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds.
Lola makungulu, gimija lepi, wala kubena na gangali chibana. Pamonga na genago, Chapanga agalisa chakulya. Hinu nyenye mwitopela kuliku videge!
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Yani mweavi pagati yinu kwa kujing'aha ihotola kujiyonjokesala hati ligono limonga la wumi waki?
26 If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Hinu ngati, nakuhotola kuhenga chindu chidebe ngati ichi, ya kyani kujing'aha na mambu gangi?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Shelemun in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mugalola maluva ga mdahi chegikula, nakuhenga lihengu wala giluka lepi nyula. Nambu nikuvajovela nkosi Solomoni pamonga na kuvya na vindu vyamahele, nambu avi lepi na nyula za kunyamba ngati liluva limonga.
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
Hinu ngati Chapanga akuganyambisa manyahi ga kumgunda, lelu livili na chilau yaki giyochwa pamotu, wu, nakuhotola kuvawalika nyenye? Vandu mwemusadika padebe.”
29 Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
“Na nyenye mkotoka kuhololela neju ndava ya kung'ahikila kuvya mwilya kyani amala mwinywa kyani.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Muni vandu vangasadika va milima yingi ya pamulima uwu, vavi mukung'ahika ndava ya genago. Nambu nyenye, Dadi winu avimanyili vindu vyoha vyemugana.
31 But seek his Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
Hinu, mun'gaikila kulonda hoti Unkosi wa Chapanga na genago yati mwipewa kwa kuyonjokeswa.”
32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
“Mukotoka kuyogopa nyenye msambi udebe, muni Dadi winu aganisiwi kuvapela Unkosi waki.
33 Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.
Mugulisa vindu vinu, na mashonga gene muvatangatila vangangu. Mujikitila chihaku cha mashonga changalala na kijivikila vindu vinu vyabwina kunani kwa Chapanga kwangapunguka. Kwenuko vahiji nakuhegelela, wala vingokoko na kuhalibisa.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Pechivi chibana chaku ndi maholo na luhala lwa mtima waku yati uvya penapo.”
35 "Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning.
“Mujitendekela na kuhengeka kuni, na hahi zinu ziyaka,
36 Be like people watching for their lord, when he returns from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
muvya ngati vavanda vavamulindila mkulu wavi mweihuma kundowa, vamudindulila mlyangu peihodesa.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.
Vamotiswa vavanda vala bambu wavi peuwuya akuvakolela vakona mihu! Chakaka nikuvajovela, bambu yula yati ikunga mkungi muchiwunu na kuvajovela vatama pahi pandu pakulyelela na akavahengela.
38 And if he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are they.
Vamotisiwa vavanda vala, hati ngati bambu wavi peiwuya pagati ya kilu amala hati hambakucha na kuvakolela vakona mihu!
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Mumanyila lijambu lenili, ngati mkolo nyumba ngamanyili lukumbi lwa muhiji kubwela, ngaatamili mihu, ngaileki lepi nyumba yaki yidenyewayi.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him."
Mewawa na nyenye yikuvagana mujitendelekeha, ndava mwangalumanya lukumbi, Mwana wa Mundu peibwela.”
41 And Kipha said, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?"
Petili akamkota, “Bambu, luhumu ulu ukutijovela nga tete amala ukuvajovela vandu voha?”
42 The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right time?
Bambu akayangula. Ndi, yani mweavi mtumisi mbwina na analuhala? Kangi bambu waki amuviki kuvayimalila vavanda vangi na kuvapela chakulya pa lukumbi lwaki.
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Asangaluka mtumisi yula, ngati mkulu waki peiwuyayi yati amkolela ikita chenicho.
44 Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
Chakaka nikuvajovela, mkulu mwenuyo yati amuvika mtumisi mwenuyo kuyimalila vindu vyaki vyoha.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunk,
Nambu muhengaji yula, ngati akujijovela mumtima waki, Mkulu wangu acheliwi kuwuya, ndi itumbula kuvatova vatumisi vayaki, vadala na vagosi, na kulya na kunywa na kugala,
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
Mkulu waki yati iwuya ligono na lukumbi lwanga manyikana, yati amudumula hipandi hipandi na kumuvika lilundu limonga la vangasadika.
47 That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Mvanda mweamanyi gala geigana bambu waki, nambu ajitendelekili lepi kuhenga genago, bambu waki akumtova neju.
48 but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
Nambu mvanda mweihenga chindu changamanya gala geigana bambu waki, mwenuyo yati itoviwa padebe. Muni yula mweapewili vyamahele, mwenuyo idayiwa vyamahele na yula mweagotoliwi vyamahele neju, yati idayiwa vyamahele neju.
49 "I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
“Nibweli kuleta motu pamulima, ndi kuvya uvya ngaumali kuyaka!”
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished.
Nambu nivinawu ubatizu weukunigana nibatiziwa, na nene nikuung'akila neju mbaka utimilayi!
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Wu! Mwiholalela nibweli kuleta uteke pamulima? Hati padebe, lepi, utekee nambu mpechenganu.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Kutumbula hinu vandu mhanu va nyumba yimonga yati vipechengana upandi vadatu na upandi wungi vavili, na kangi upandi vavili na upandi wungi vadatu.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
Yati vipechengana dadi na msongolo waki, msongolo na dadi waki, mau na msikana waki, msikana na nyina waki, nayala na mkamwana waki, mkamwana na nayala waki.
54 He said to the crowds also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
Yesu akaujovela msambi wa vandu, “Pemukugawona mahundi gihumalila kwelitipama lilanga, bahapo mwijova, yati yitonya fula, na chakaka fula yitonya.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
Na pemwilola mpungu upuganisa kuhuma kuupandi wa kusini mujova, lelu yati livya lilanga, Chakaka kwivya na lilanga lachona.
56 Hypocrites. You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not know how to interpret this time?
Vahomela nyenye! Mumanyili kulotela mambu ga lusenje, kwa kulola chekuvi lelu kwa kulola mulima na mahundi, ndava kyani mwihotola lepi kumanya mambu ga lusenje lwa hinu?”
57 Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
“Ndava kyani mwavene mwihotola lepi kuhagula mambu gabwina ga kukita?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Ngati mundu mweakutakili, akukupeleka palibanji la mihalu, mbanga mutepulana mwakona munjila muni akotoka kukupeleka kwa mhamula mihalu, namwene akugotola kwa manjolinjoli na vene vakusopa muchifungu.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."
Chakaka yati wihuma lepi muchifungu, mbaka peumalakisa kulipa sendi ya lishonga la mwishu.”
